A 100 amp service requires that you use AWG 4 copper wire or AWG 2 aluminum wire.
A 100 amp residential service requires a size #8 copper wire, it should be insulated in green.
Approximate overall diameter of the wire is 12.8 mm. If you are looking for metric wire size 95 mm2. 187500 circular mils.

I would recommend you use AWG # 2 copper or AWG # 1/0 aluminum for that distance and amperage.

For a 100 amp service, a common feeder wire size would be 2 AWG (American Wire Gauge) copper or 1/0 AWG aluminum. These sizes are appropriate for handling the current capacity needed for a 100 amp electrical service. It is important to consult with a licensed electrician or local building code requirements to ensure the proper wire size for your specific installation.
AWG # 4 copper.
For Service Entrance Cable 600 kcmill (Thousands of circular mils).
That can't be answered until you state the voltage.
For service sizes of 100 amps and less a #8 bare copper conductor is required.
Depends on length. The more length, the more resistance.
